Talking It Over

- BY JOE WILLIAMS-

NEW YORK, Dec. s—Speaking of baseball, possibly the trouble with Mrs. Keith-Miller is that she is a poor judge of distance. Or, maybe, she got that way driving a coupe. Columbus started out for Asia and points east and landed at Sloppy Joe’s. They weren’t syndicating adventure stories in those days, so wandering Christopher became a five-star special immortal, and a boon to the sculpture racket. a a a In on* rupfrt Mr'. Keith-Miller has proved herself a remarkable woman. She refused to talk. Cot she would write, wire or rable at spare rate*, with love, kisses and greetings to all editors. For net telling all about her scrambled flight from Havana to a journalistic rash till, without roodishly rut royalties, the lady has been subjected to embarrassing rrltlrlsm. non This is not wholly fair. More than likely she got that wav by reading the sports pagrs Eleven vorng n-en go out and die for dear old Camenbert and Coach Gorgonzola writes all about it in the next day's shriek for fifty bucks. a a a BUT T started out to speak of baseball. The news dispatches state that, Ty Cobb may be the new owner and manager of the Reading cmb. Is there no such thing as showmanship in professional baseball? a o a Why should such a glamorous figure 'copyright) as Cobb be permitted to fritter away his time in the bushes? There are at ’east five clubs in the Big League that couid very handily capitalize his majestic background. Even ar. groundkeeper he would be more Interesting than some of the 'managers. ana Another illustrious character, still young enough to be of considerable value in some capacity, yet ignored by the magnates Is Tris Speaker, greatest outfielder of all time. I have nothing against Shano Collins who has just been named manager of the Boston Red Sox. but I find It hard to understand how a comparatively unknown got snch an appointment and Speaker t not even considered. At least, not so far as I know. Men like Cobb and Speaker still carry sufficient popular appeal to make them very Important In the general scheme of baseball. nan A FEW days ago, young Art Shires was waived out of the American League to ‘Milwaukee. Shires Is the most colorful ball player that has come to the big leagues in the last ten years. On top of that he is a pretty fair sort of first baseman. nan ETer since he has been In the majors he has been the source of more interesting news stories than any other individual in the game. Even If he didn't get in a game he would be valuable to a big league team as a spontaneous press agent. But what makes his case all the more bewildering Is that three or four clubs could use him as a hall player. Maybe what baseball needs is a John Ringling. 26 ROUNDS ON BILL Twenty-six rounds will make up tonight’s fistic show at Riverside park. There will be six scraps and the program will get under way at 8:30. In the eight-round feature, Willard Brown, Indianapolis, will clash with Jess McMurty, Cincinnati. They are junior welterweights.

U. S. C. 10 TO 8 FAVORITE OVER NOTRE DAME TEAM

Irish Are Keyed Lip Rockne Points Team to Stop Overconfident Eleven. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent LOS ANGELES, Dec. s.—Tlie Notre Dame football team was cast today in the unfamiliar role of underdog. Although boasting a string of eighteen straight victories, the Irish were on the short end of 10 to 8 betting odds for Saturday’s game against Southern California's high scoring machine. To a purpose, Knute Rockne has played his cards wisely, to send his team on the field Saturday before a crowd of 90,000 doped to lose. The Notre Dame wizard guaged perfectly his announcement that Larry Mullins, first string full back, would be unable to play. Those who have seen Southern California trample California, Stanford, and Washington can not conceive of any team stopping the Trojans’ ruthless offense, and this wave enthusiasm has wafted Howard Jones’ eleven into the favored position. Knute’s Psychology Knute Rockne’s psychology has kept them there. Every word Rockne utters attempts to convey the idea that Notre Dame hasn’t a chance. Without exception every football critic, writer and coach in this section favors Southern California to won. On ths score, every one seems to have overlooked that ugly duckling of the gridiron—over-confidence. Rockne is sending his team into the game mentally and physically pitched to spend its supreme effort of the year. Three times in four games, Southern California has faltered in a pinch and seen Notre Dame win by a single point on each occasion. On the other hand, there are many angles that point toward Southern California as the winner. Howard Jones has punctured the end and beginning of previous Notre Dame victory marches. Back in 1921, after Notre Dame had won twenty straight games in 1919, 1920 and 1921, lowa, under Howard Jones, beat the Irish, 10 to 7. Irish Drill in Secret The last Notre Dame defeat before starting the present eighteengame winning streak was administered by Southern Calfornia in 1928 by a 27 to 14 score. If any one imagines that Rockne isn’t going to do everything in his power to win this game, it’s worth knowing that for the first time this year he wouldn’t allow men to attend Thursday morning's secret practice at Tucson, Ariz. Half a dozen members of the press were refused admittance, but an airplane flying over the field revealed that the Notre Dame team was in the midst of scrimmage. Notre Dame will not come out of seclusion until noon Saturday. It was reported today that Howard Wilcox, rated by many as the Trojans’ best end, would be in shape to start the contest.

night was as sudden and mysterious as was its disappearance. President Edward C. Elliott of Purdue, was notified of the bucket’s recovery. He in turn called Zora G. Clevenger, Indiana university athletic director, who gave directions for its return to Indiana university. It probably will be shipped to Bloomington by express in time to be displayed at the football banquet of the Indiana University Club Monday night at Indianapolis.

THE Milwaukee Brewers evidently have gone in for rollicking, fun-loving baseball. In the outfield for Marty Berghammer will be Cuckoo Christensen, the official clown of, the American Association, and on the infield will be Whataman Shires. If this combination of sideshow entertainers doesn’t click and keep the fans in jolly humor it will have to be confessed that Nick Altrock and A1 Schacht possess a monopoly on diamond vaudeville. Any way you take it, the Brewers will have the “old necessary" to pack ’em in on the road. Christensen is a laugh by himself, and now that he has a playmate in the Great Arthur, it’s hard telling to what length the circus stuff will reach. nun Irish Meusel is out of a job again.

Weller of Haskell, Russell of Wildcats Complete Back Field. BY KNUTE ROCKNE Member All-America Board of Football <R;g. U. S. Pat. Office) Picking an All-Western team this year is extremely difficult for several reasons. In picking this team, the entire season Is taken into consideration, the schedule the team played, the class of competition encountered, value to the team both defensively and offensively, dependability in the pinches and particularly the ability to fire up and rise to heights when the occasions demanded. • At end, there can be no question about Baker of Northwestern and Fester of Ohio State. Hackett of Detroit, Conley of Notre Dame and Briley of Drake were also outstanding end men, but not quite up to the superb form exemplified by Baker and Fesler. Van Bibber of Purdue and Rhea of Nebraska are given the tackle posts. Van Bibber was the backbone of a crack Purdue line while Rhea was the inspiration of a fine Nebraska line. A weak Nebraska back field was not able to hold up the splendid play of the forwards. Michigan State, which had a fine season, tying Michigan and beating Colgate, had a great tackle in Ridler.

When he punts hjs placing recalls to mind the expert work of Harry Kipke, former Michigan ace. Os the half backs, I pick Brill of Notre Dame and Weller of Haskell Indians. Brill is as fine a blocker and as impregnable a defensive back as I have seen. He also is a dependable ball carrier. Waller of Haskell, although weighing only 155 pounds, was the sensation of the Missouri valley. If there is anything he couldn’t do with a football it hasn't been discovered. Russell of Northwestern Is the outstanding full back of the year and his plunging had an awesome power that was appreciated more by the line that he drove against than by the spectators. Deig of Marquette, who contributed very largely to Marquette's wonderful season, was just a step behind. This All-Western team will compare favorably with any that have been picked in the past. This team would compare very favorably with the best that the Pacific coast could muster and looks a shade stronger than the best the east has to offer.
